I wear many hats, but my main focus is systems thinking and practice! I’m also one of the cool folks working behind the scenes to make https://hachyderm.io/@outreachy happen! ✨

I usually post about free and open source software, keyboard obsessions, hardware repairs, plants, disabilities, and university life. I've lived in the global south my whole life. Things can be a bit different over here.

: Pessoas que pesquisaram por e/ou compraram mesas com altura regulável no Brasil.

  1. Você conseguiu encontrar alguma outra boa marca não-gamer além de GenioDesk, Slikdesk, ErgoDesk?
  2. Se você comprou uma, como tem sido a sua experiência? Voltaria a usar uma mesa com altura não regulável?

: Aquela linha de ventiladores tão bem falada da Arno, Xtreme Force Breeze. Nós compramos um depois que assistências autorizadas da Philco se recusaram a reconhecer que o nosso ventilador anterior está com problemas (tanto que ele solta um cheiro de plástico queimado toda vez que é ligado).

A velocidade mais baixa, para a noite, é realmente silenciosa. O ventilador de coluna foi fácil de montar (e as instruções incluem até as onomatopeias que eles esperam que você escute).

So today I just found out the MTA (transportation authority for NYC, which published open data about trains, metro and bus operations) geoblocks several countries from its developer portal - including Brazil.

Why?

@melissawm Portland does that too.

There’s a long-standing bug in Fedora (also in Fedora 40), where the sign-in screen is displayed at the wrong resolution (it doesn’t use the settings you have set in the Settings app).

So, for example, if you have 4K@2x set in your settings for your monitor, the sign-in screen will still display at a tiny 4K@1x.

To fix, download an app called GDM Settings from the Software app and press Display → Apply current display settings → Apply.

@aral The last time I did some digging about it (4 years ago), it was because your user settings are stored on ~/.config/monitors.xml whereas GDM uses settings on /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml. Here’s an entry on the Arch Linux wiki about it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#Setup_default_monitor_settings

: Em uma das minhas pesquisas sobre direitos de cônjuges em uma união estável e em um casamento civil, acabei encontrando esta cartilha da Defensoria Pública do Piauí sobre as primeiras providências após a morte de alguém. É um daqueles assuntos dos quais falamos pouco, mas é muito importante falarmos sobre para nos familiarizarmos com os procedimentos mais básicos. 🔗 PDF: https://www.defensoria.pi.def.br/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/CARTILHA-PRIMEIRAS-PROVIDÊNCIAS-APÓS-A-MORTE.pdf

Electronic magnifiers are hundreds or thousands of dollars. This person created one with a Raspberry Pi: https://github.com/ctrlw/magni (I’ll definitely try this out once we move out. I’m out of space for a set up like this.)

I’m curious, what’s the biggest pain of the organizations you’ve worked at? What was that thing that kept haunting everyone and stalling work. (I’m thinking in terms of governance — compliance, accountability, transparency, etc.)

Either there is something magical with Keychron and Ctrl+. or GNOME have a setting I can't find anywhere that applies a different action to this...

@juliobiason I think it doesn't bring the Emoji selector everywhere? I seem to recall it only working with GNOME apps. (I had a time in my life as a Linux user I was obsessed with finding a pretty good emoji selector until I settled for Rofi.)

I'm looking for a light read, any genre; just a book that would help me decompress. Any recommendations?

@matt What an amusing premise, I think I'll definitely enjoy it! Thanks!

I’m tempted to buy a physical book for the first time in a decade because all scans I could find are low contrast and blurry.

anna,
@anna@friend.camp avatar

I couldn’t find a physical copy of this book in my uni’s library either. Both digital copies I found were created by The Internet Archive, by the way, so I basically ran out of options.

anna,
@anna@friend.camp avatar

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy digital copies of that book exist! My spouse needed that book ASAP and that really helped. But I found them to be extremely difficult to read, especially towards the end of every page.

anna,
@anna@friend.camp avatar

It looks like the publisher does have an amazing PDF version of this book (per their excerpts)… But they decided not to sell it. Instead, this book is a print on demand title and the only way to buy it is by getting a physical copy.

anna,
@anna@friend.camp avatar

I found one online store in Brazil with a physical copy of the latest edition of this book in stock, and it looks like it was the only copy they had!

Writing is such a resource heavy operation for me. Capturing my thoughts, analyzing, understanding, and distilling them until get to a point they make sense to other people. I have to do it all the time at work as a process architect and at school as an Information Systems student, it's no wonder it's so rare to feel like I have the energy to do it for fun.

Addressing indoor air quality saves lives and helps us achieve at work, in school, and in self-governance.

Brain function declines by 15% as CO2 levels hit 945ppm, and by 50% at 1400ppm.

Have you ever measured CO2 at your desk or a contentious City Council meeting? What you find might surprise you!

These scientists recommend mandating clean air in public buildings, with 800ppm as the upper limit. That's good policy: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adl0677

@josh I’m starting to have those conversations at my university. I was shocked at how terribly ventilated my faculty building is. https://friend.camp/@anna/112140076449667719

anna,

@josh It was terrifying to see carbon dioxide levels increase so rapidly in real time. It got to a point I was dreading every update.

I was telling my spouse, one of the biggest barriers for us here in Brazil is being able to afford that kind of device — I have the privilege of having disposable income available to import it. It’s quite powerful to have a physical device showing you the reality of things — they’re kind of inescapable. They force you to face the problem and think of a solution.

de hoje, mas em 2021, a SUSE se junta à carta aberta pela renúncia de Stallman e de toda a direção da FSF.

Ainda, em um tweet, a CEO escreveu que o mundo merecia mais, e que como líder tinha que se manifestar sobre a decisão da FSF e contra a misoginia e a intolerância.

Link para o tweet da então CEO da SUSE se declarando desapontada com a decisão da FSF e se posicionando firmemente contra a misoginia e a intolerância: https://twitter.com/mdidonato1/status/1375080357628846090

If you're here because of my CO₂ measurement thread (I'm about to summarize it for clarity), here's some context you may have missed: I'm a Brazilian living in the Central-West region of Brazil—more specifically, in the capital city of Goiás. This is why you'll see my Aranet4 Home measuring temperatures in the high 20s (Celsius).

I'm an Information Systems undergraduate at my state's federal public university. We seldom see HVAC systems here. Cooling is often provided by mini split AC systems.

I'm frankly appalled that, four years after the start of the pandemic, no one thought it would be a good idea to improve air ventilation in our classrooms. After all, they forced us to go back to classrooms as soon as they could.
